Security U.S. Style??

WASHINGTON (AP) - U.S. Senator Edward Kennedy said Thursday he has been repeatedly misidentified on a terrorism watch list when he tried to board airliners between Washington and Boston. The well-known Massachusetts Democrat was stopped five times as he tried to board US Airways shuttles because a name similar to his appeared on a list or his name popped up for additional screening. "If they have that kind of difficulty with a member of Congress, how in the world are average Americans, who are getting caught up in this thing, how are they going to be treated fairly and not have their rights abused?" Kennedy asked Homeland Security undersecretary Asa Hutchinson. Hutchinson, who apologized for "any inconvenience" to the senator, was testifying before the Senate judiciary committee on the need for the U.S. government to take over the watch lists, which are currently administered by the airlines. http://www.mytelus.com/news/article.do?pageID=news_home&articleID=1692108
